BEYOND BOXING EP257 - LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON...RASTAFARI
There’s nothing a son treasures more than the bond with his father, the love, the validation, and that bond can drive a man to extraordinary heights.
On Saturday night, we witnessed Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn do exactly that. Driven not just by their own ambitions, but by the legacy of their fathers, and by the love and validation of the British public, they gave us one of the great nights in British boxing.
Two men, laying everything on the line. Two men, fighting for more than just victory. And in doing so, both earned something far greater, the admiration and love of the public, after years of chasing it.
The shame is, nights like this are rare. Boxing can deliver stories like these again and again… but too often, the sport takes the easy road, chasing quick money rather than building the deep, powerful narratives that make nights like this so special.
Tonight, we dive into why Saturday mattered, and what boxing needs to learn from it.
